The dies are not that expensive when you realize you get hundreds and hundreds of perfect cuts per die. If I didn't spend my money on dies I'd just spend it on something else. ;) ;)

It really is reasonable. I SAY the dies are expensive...to ME they are, but I am single making minimum wage, so most things ar exensive, lol. But they ARE worth it, as Bella said, you can cut a billion pieces with one die.
My Go was a gift from BF, and I already have some dies picked out for Christmas, lol!

I haven't seen it mentioned yet....how long before the die gets dull and has to be replaced?
I may be aging myself :oops: but I remember, when I made my first quilt, I used some assorted sized squares that I had made out of cardboard cereal boxes. I laid the squares on my fabric and traced around them with a pen and then cut each of them out with scissors :shock: If I wanted to cut a strip then I took my yardstick and measured the width of the strip by putting marks on the fabric all along the length and then connected the dots and cut it on the line....with scissors...LOL!
I still remember the first time I saw someone use a rotary cutter (mid 1980's). I was in a LQS and needed fabric to make a ruffle. Not only did the owner cut the strip of fabric for me (I think she was enjoying her new toy--the rotary cutter, ruler and mat :mrgreen: ) but she also put it on her sewing machine and made the ruffle for me!! :shock: I was truly amazed at how fast the rotary cutter worked.
